As we in kindergarten look back 100 years, we have come to realize many things are different. Last week we took a look at the way people dressed. Through our research we found out many interesting things.
Did you know that New York's 5th Avenue fashion district began in 1907. We also found out that Neiman Marcus opened in Dallas that same year!! It was a great time for fashion.
It is referred to as the Edwardian period of fashion. Children often wore "sailor suits". Little boys suits had short pants. Little girls wore dresses with long waists.
We took a look at the way men and women dressed too. It was much more formal than men and women dress today. Men wore suits with vests and hats. Ladies wore dresses which draped the floor. Hats were also very fashionable.
Our Internet research allowed us to collect pictures of 1907 fashion. We copied several of the pictures for a display in our class. We have also written on our THEN and NOW charts about how people dress.
